You may be a special needs parent, a parent to small kids, or a person taking care of an elderly or sick relative. You all have one thing in common: The importance of self-care cannot be overemphasized.
 
A popular quote goes, “You cannot pour from an empty cup.”
 
Self-care has been likened to flight attendants putting on oxygen masks 
before assisting passengers in an emergency situation. You need to take care of your needs first before you can help others.
 
Self-care is not a selfish act, but a recognition of our human limitations. Self-care is self-compassion.
By cultivating self-compassion, we become better carers to those we love.

Now more than ever, we witness the heroism of parents--mothers, in many cases, who juggle working from home and family life.
 
Quarantine protocols spawned by the Covid-19 pandemic may be gifting families with ample togetherness. The reality, however, is that things at home aren’t always fine and dandy.

The demands of work-from-home, child care, homeschooling, and household chores have many parents bursting at the seams.
 
Families caring for a member with a disability are in a unique situation. The standards of care are even more exacting.
 
For the overwhelmed parent, it is most important to practice self-compassion before things begin to take a toll on one’s physical body. It is important to learn to let go. It's a fact that we are not always able to control things. 

“Don't try to be perfect; Just be an excellent example of a human being.” —Anthony Robbins
